San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Like exposed hook underspins but don't like how they snag easily? Have a bunch of old underspins already? Add a jig spinner for more flash and weedless performance. Has worked well at Barrett for largemouth and San Diego Bay for spotties.

You could buy https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Flatlan ... aAQAvD_BwE or just make your own as described above. In my case, I already had some old Roadrunner underspins and a few jig spinners so I gave it a try. For the tail, I used a 2.5" Z-man swimbait tail (Slim Swimz) secured with a dab of superglue. Casts further than a spinner bait of the same weight due to not having a silicone skirt.

Anyone else get an itchy rash in the ankle area from long float tube days? The only thing I found to prevent it is a stiff beeswax product such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006UIUGVE?re ... in_title_1 . Bike chamois lube, petroleum jelly, anti-chafe balm and body glide all helped but not enough. I also wear low friction socks such as Wright double layer socks.

I have not tried putting bread sacks over socks, that might work too. The beeswax also works if you get chafing on the bottom of the thighs.

corn starch.

Not sure if that would work as the feet and socks are usually quite damp or even wet after hours in the float tube, either from sweat or microleaks.
